Review:
I really enjoy the way that Richard Feynman explains things. It is so nice to read a clear and cogent description of a fantastically complicated concept without resorting to highly specific nomenclature. This book is a collection of 4 lectures and I enjoyed all of it. Some experiments that had been well known to me (like the double slit experiment) and that I had found remarkably frustrating became clear. This book does not resort to "magic" like wave-particle duality or state collapse to explain how things work. I especially love that Richard Feynman who was a consummate experimentalist did not resort to a requirement that an observer be involved to explain things. Best of all, I like the way that he explained how a lens worked. What a great book!
